Our Core Services

Plant Optimization & Digitalization

More output from the plant you already own, driven by process expertise and plant data, not guesswork.

Plants often run below their real potential, not because they need more hardware, but because bottlenecks, yield losses and energy waste have accumulated without being systematically quantified.

We combine process expertise with data-driven industrial solutions: plant data brought into context, then analysed to locate losses, trace their causes and determine the operating conditions that improve performance. The analytics platform comes from our technology partner Optimistik; the process judgement that makes it useful comes from us.

Plant optimization — process equipment in operation
What we deliver

From Assessment to Measured Gain

Capacity

Debottlenecking & Capacity Expansion

We locate the true constraint — hydraulic, thermal, mechanical or operational — then develop staged expansion concepts around it. Often the cheapest tonne of capacity is inside the existing plant.

Yield

Yield & Efficiency Optimization

We trace where product, energy and water are being lost across the process, and quantify the gap between what the plant produces and what it could produce. Benchmarking across starch, sweetener, sugar, protein and fermentation plants shows what good performance looks like.

Energy

Energy & Utility Assessment

We analyse steam, power, water and cooling systems together to identify where energy is consumed, where it is lost and where it can be recovered. Improvement opportunities are prioritised by technical impact, investment required and payback.

When decarbonization is part of the strategy, the same assessment becomes the foundation for our sustainability work.

Data

Industrial Data & AI

We bring plant data together across historian, PLC, ERP and laboratory systems, creating a contextualized view of the plant. On that foundation, AI and advanced analytics enable real-time OEE, yield and energy monitoring, comparison across lines, shifts and campaigns, anomaly detection, soft sensors and machine-learning models that identify the operating conditions that consistently deliver the highest performance.

Assurance

Technical Due Diligence

Independent technical assessment of an existing plant — before an acquisition, refinancing or major capital investment, or when performance no longer matches expectations: actual condition, achievable production capacity, remaining asset life and the CAPEX required to achieve the target performance.

Digitalization — with Optimistik

The Platform Behind It

We integrate OIAnalytics by Optimistik, a cloud-native industrial data platform proven across more than 150 process manufacturing sites.

  • Data exchange — OT/IT/IoT systems unified via edge connectors (OPC, Modbus, MQTT, SQL)
  • Contextualization — plant data from every source structured into a common asset and event model
  • Integrated applications — OEE, shift logbooks, SPC, forms, synoptics, dashboards
  • Advanced analytics & AI — influence analysis, custom model deployment and AI-assisted exploration

Our role: we provide the process engineering that turns industrial data into operational improvement: defining the KPIs that matter, validating models against process reality, and translating analytics into actions that improve capacity, yield and energy performance.

How we work
01 Discovery VisitVisit the plant, understand the process, review available data and align on the improvement objective — capacity, yield, energy or overall performance.
02 Diagnostic StudyDevelop mass and energy balances, identify process constraints, analyse historical performance across lines and shifts, and quantify the improvement potential.
03 Improvement RoadmapPrioritize improvement opportunities based on technical impact, investment, payback and implementation complexity, resulting in a practical implementation plan.
04 Implementation & Performance VerificationDeliver engineering for the selected improvements and verify that the expected performance gains are achieved and sustained.
